The Piece of Ashes : Part 2

Aster and Rune stared at each other as if their eyes were talking. The blond had a bandage over his head that covered almost half of his hair while Rune's ponytail had gone neat again.

The sound of fighting had stopped just a few minutes ago, leaving an achingly quiet silence outside. There was no screaming or yelling anymore.

Both of them were hiding under a table after one of the mindless demons tried to barge in. Rune and Aster managed to move a table to the door and hope that it would hold the demons outside.

And it did. But now, the sound had stopped as if they had just disappeared.

"Do you think they're gone?" Rune asked. Hazel eyes warily peeked from the tip of the table, trying to see the door.

Aster stayed down under the table, not wanting to join her while looking up at the red-haired girl. "You want to check?" He asked unsurely.
